Flags have been used for centuries to pledge allegiance to a nation or to make a statement.

For instance, the old skull-and-crossbones pirate flags first surfaced in the 17th century. Pirate flags were designed to strike fear into victims and encourage a hasty surrender.

Today flags are placed anywhere they can be affixed and in some cases people choose a handheld flag like a toothpick flag to show their support.

When we envision a flag we usually visualize a big flag, a large version of a national flag, a sports franchise, or a theme flag.

Not only do we offer a selection of large flags but you can also order a custom flag in any size with any design. You can design your very own flag to the size that you desire. Visit our Custom flags section.

Flags are eye-catching and look great if they are maintained. Old, weathered, or tattered flags look awful and are regarded as an eye-sore or a blemish instead of a beautiful depiction of the flag’s intended use. Most of us want to stop when we see a flag in poor condition, and rip the flag down.
